One issue only which was no hot water.

The location, food, pub atmosphere and especially the friendliness and customer service of the staff were all excellent.

Shower pressure was poor but understand this is an old building. Shower cubicle needs re sealing re mould and a repaint in the shower room.

Friendly staff, pub meals and breakfast were excellent. Great pub overlooking the estuary. Handy for walking Dalbeattie forest. We stayed in room 2 which had excellent views.

Too many stairs for me

The location of the hotel.

Some of the staff made us feel uncomfortable, rather abrupt, but some were very nice.

Breakfasts were good, steak pie was excellent, half pint of potted prawns were hard work and a waste of money - a joke.

The entry doors are dangerous !! Getting my 91 year old sister safely in and out of the entrance was extremely difficult . The single bed in room 8 is also a nightmare !!You can feel the metal rings with your fingertips , no need to even lay on the bed . Having just made an extremely long flight from California I was looking forward to a comfortable nights sleep …. Well that didn’t happen ! The shower in the bathroom is a joke ! Please have one of your staff stay overnight and test the bed and the shower . You will understand why nobody would encourage their friends to stay at your hotel . My sister probably said it best …. You’re a pub with rooms . Yes your food is delicious but I’m not sure you will have repeat customers . Cheers … Liz McDougall

Food was terrific , staff delightful and location and view spectacular

The shower was very poor,one night it didn't work at all. The area upstairs needs a bit of attention.

Fantastic location in a lovely area , Breakfast and food in the evening was very good .

Room was very small and aspects of the property felt a little shabby - the communal hallways and stairs

Great location

Room 1 no hot water in shower. When we complained we were given key to another room to use the shower. Not ideal having to go along the corridor with my shower stuff but better than nothing! Also single bed blocked the wardrobe and the radiator

Lovely place. Staff very friendly and hard working. Food was great... tasty, freshly cooked and hot. Lovely view from bedroom window

The plumbing and bathrooms really let the hotel down. Our shower was not much more than a trickle. The family room, which our daughter and 2 young grandchildren stayed in, had no water coming out of the bath taps or shower. They had to climb a flight of stairs to use our less than adequate shower, which was very inconvenient.

The views and food were great. Rooms were comfortable and staff friendly.

The light and airy room with a view of the estuary was as good as the photo. The food in the bar/restaurant and for breakfast was excellent.

Hotel is tired and could do with a makeover We had a triple room and single bed was in front of the wardrobe which meant we couldn’t use it and had to leave our clothes in the suitcase and on the spare bed. The shower didn’t work and we couldn't have a Shower on the first morning. We had to use the shower in another room during our stay. Not ideal. Towel rail was loose and fell off. Only one bedside lamp which provided very little light.

Location and food both breakfast in the restaurant were first class. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Good quality bedding and comfortable bed.

A minor point but could be a health and safety issue: we were on the second floor and the lighting on both sets of stairs could/ should be brighter. Both of us missed the 'extra'step' at the foot of the second tier of steps when descending and I fell on the first floor half step in the corridor which, to be fair, is edged in white. Both could cause serious injury to someone who was more frail. Seems churlish to mention following a delightful short stay, but 'Hey ho'.

Location superb as was our reception and the ease, sociability and service of all the staff. All meals were first rate, our room had a lovely view west over the estuary, was small, but had a good sized bathroom and all areas were beautifully clean. Many thanks to all concerned.

Car parking could have been difficult there is dedicated parking for residents but we chose to park on the quiet road side

The Scottish breakfast was first class there were other choices of course and nothing seemed to much trouble.

Room was very dated and not the most comfortable. Shower pressure was dreadful, we made the trip to a local swimming pool to ensure we could have a decent shower.

Staff were welcoming and very accommodating. Food was excellent and dining room/bar had a great atmosphere. Excellent breakfast. Lovely location with plenty to do.

It is a little dated, but that does seem to add to the charm. But in saying that the bedrooms do need to be updated and better showers are needed. But it certainly wouldn’t put me off going again, and looking to stay again later in the year.

Been coming for a few years, beautiful part of the country! The Anchor is lovely, great food and friendly staff. Our room was very comfortable, linen clean and good quality as were the towels big and fluffy.
